BIOL 13
Introduction to Animal Tracking Winter 2023

The course will meet twice a week for 5 hour sessions, primarily in the field. One field trip to a nearby state forest is scheduled for the fourth or fifth class meeting day. This day may extend to 4:00. Students are expected to have appropriate outdoor gear for winter. Students are required to create journals and site maps of their personal study areas, including all major features of the landscape, flora and fauna activity. Students will be expected to visit their study spots every day for a minimum of 1 hour of tracking journaling and data collection. Evaluation will be based on attendance, participation, a final presentation of their study sites, maps and journals, a field test and a 3 page research paper
